Definitely some kind of issue going on. Cant switch models, cant do anything.

Same here !

Downgrade to previous version temporarily please

Downgrade:

curl -fsSL https://claude.ai/install.sh | bash -s 2.1.25

Disable auto update:
Edit ~/.claude/settings.json

{
  "env": {
    "DISABLE_AUTOUPDATER": "1"
  }
}

Same for me it gest stuck a lot, and freezes to much

I encountered this issue as well. After extensive troubleshooting, I discovered that deleting all directories such as ~/.claude/session-env and ~/.claude/projects resolved the problem.

That’s a work around.

I did /resume /compact and that worked.

Downgrade to previous version temporarily please Downgrade: `` curl -fsSL https://claude.ai/install.sh | bash -s 2.1.25 ` Disable auto update: Edit ~/.claude/settings.json ` { "env": { "DISABLE_AUTOUPDATER": "1" } } ``

This is the only thing that solves it for me.

ok solved with v2.1.31 for me

2.1.31 did not solve it for me. Still on 2.1.25 as a result.

Are you using Windows?

She solved it for me was a previous comment - a MASSIVE 3 GB JSONL file in .Claude/projects in one of the subprojects.

find . -type f -size +100M -delete

Found the errant file and nuked it and now things are back to normal.
